Video: Sam Stout’s Brutal First Round Knockout Of Yves Edwards

Long-time UFC veteran Sam Stout reminded fans why he’s nicknamed “Hands of Stone.” The lightweight, whose last seven fights have went the distance, provided a highlight reel first round knockout at UFC 131 last night when he put Yves Edwards to sleep with a vicious left hook at 3:52 of the first round.

“I thought it would take a little bit longer to be able to connect against a fighter of Yves Edwards’ caliber,” Stout said after the fight. “I was putting my combinations together and trying to slow him down.”

The knockout earned the Canadian striker “Knockout of the Night” honors and an extra $70,000. You can watch Stout’s handy work below:
